WRF-Eclipse Using GFS for Boundary Conditions

Hi,
I'm running WRF simulations for the April 8th, 2024 total solar eclipses using 0-hour GFS forecast data for the boundary conditions to test the accuracy of the WRF with its eclipse setting turned on in combination with a few different PBL schemes. I was wondering if the GFS model was run taking the eclipse into account? If so, would it be necessary to have the eclipse setting on in the WRF or would this be doubling the effects of the eclipse within the domains?
 
I'm not sure of the answer to this. I recommend contacting someone who manages GFS data. You could start by contacting NSF NCAR's CISL RDA support team to see if they know.
